Advanced Placement European History (APEH) Summer Assignment 2021-2022 Instructor: Maude Irene Stearns – Stearnsd@Skschools.Org Advanced Placement European History (APEH) Summer Assignment 2021-2022 Instructor: Maude Irene Stearns – [email protected] Welcome to APEH!!! Prior to this school year students will need to prepare themselves for work comparable to college- level rigor in terms of reading, writing, and learning! To assist you with preparing for APEH, it is recommended that students do the following to prepare. Please feel free to contact me via email over the summer. I will check my email periodically, so feel free to send me a message any time if you run into problems. Notebook and class organization – • Purchase a three-ring binder (1.5” recommended minimum), tab dividers. You will receive many handouts throughout the year, so the ability to organize them is important. • Purchase a spiral notebook (or 2) to use for taking notes from the textbook. This should be used exclusively for this purpose, not shared with any other subject. Maps: There will be a map test the first day of class. You should be able to identify the countries, major rivers and waterways, mountain ranges, and other significant features of European geography. You will be able to retake the test as often as you need to achieve the optimum grade. The following websites provide online quizzes to practice. https://online.seterra.com/en/vgp/3007 https://lizardpoint.com/geography/europe-quiz.php Videos and Documentaries: The majority of this course begins in 1600, well past the Renaissance. However, it is essential that you have a good foundation of the Renaissance in order to understand the progression of modern European history. A small portion of the APEH exam does contain questions from the years 1450-1600. These recommended documentaries will help you with the material. These will probably be blocked from view on school equipment, so you will need to use your own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlLQOUnOrZU Tom Richey, The Prince https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntCI3pNOVAI The Medici – Godfathers of the Renaissance – part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H_thY1QLNU The Medici – Godfathers of the Renaissance – part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDF2KnVuEdE The Medici – Godfathers of the Renaissance – part 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxw34JdSCa0 The Medici – Godfathers of the Renaissance – part 4 Recommended Reading: • The Prince: This short book by Machiavelli is the widest read/required book assigned on college campuses. It provides great insight into the Renaissance. It is readily available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon. There are also online versions if you chose not to purchase it and several copies are available at the SKHS Library. However, having your own copy will allow you to highlight and write notes as you read. It is short, but not too sweet. Also, try not to get bogged down in the details. Read it for the concepts/themes, not the many details.) Textbook: Check out a copy of the textbook from the South Kitsap High School Bookroom. You do not need to wait until your assigned date in August to pick up this book! Use your dedicated spiral notebook for this task. Read chapters 11 and 12 from A History of Western Society. Handwrite detailed outline notes for the first chapter of our textbook using the Chapter Preview Questions that are provided on pages 323 and 357. You may use “Cornell” note taking or “Outline” note taking strategies. These notes will be graded for completeness and will count as a homework grade. Be thorough! Write legibly! Your notes must be handwritten and there must be one set for each chapter. In other words, feel free to go ahead. You will be glad that you did. Make sure you answer the questions after the Primary Sources and Map Questions that accompany the chapters. (See attached samples). A complete reading schedule will be available at the start of school. Refer to it frequently so that you do not fall behind. ∗In case of your absence or school closure, continue with the reading and note taking! The AP Exam is sometime during the first 2 weeks of May (the exact date is not available at this time), and the test date is not flexible! There will be reading quizzes following every chapter. Movies/Novels: An excellent way to bring historical events and people “alive” is to watch movies and read books. I have attached a list of movies that deal with topics that we study. Some of them are rated R, so parental consent might be necessary in order to view some of them. Sample “Outline” Note-Taking Student Name Topic: Chapter 11: The Latter Middle Ages Date APEH Per. I.

    August, 2005 Re: The Evolution of The Pilates Method: The Fletcher Work™ To Whom It May Concern, The Fletcher Work is the authentic evolution of the Pilates’ method. To be accurate and legitimate, any journalistic inquiry into contemporary Pilates must necessarily include this dynamic contribution. On behalf of The Ron Fletcher Company, I encourage you to take time to review the enclosed materials. Pilates is more than a contemporary fitness phenomenon. It is an extraordinarily effective conditioning method — nearly a century in development — whose time has finally come. Joseph Pilates’ original principles were absolutely sound, yet his wife, Clara, referred to her husband’s original work as “just the tip of the iceberg.” The development and evolution of the Pilates method over the last 35 years has been, in large part, the result of the work and vision of Ron Fletcher, their protégé and student for nearly three decades. Since Joseph PIlates’ death in 1968, no other individual has played a more pivotal role in the evolution and popularity of the Pilates method. Now in his eighties, Mr. Fletcher is one of only three such masters still teaching the Work. Should you have any questions regarding the enclosed information, or should you wish to pursue a related project, please do not hesitate to contact me. In addition to being one of the great luminaries of the Pilates world, Ron Fletcher is also very much alive, well and active… and he’s a great interview. Sincerely, Kyria Sabin encl The Ron Fletcher Company™ . POB 64971 . Tucson, AZ 85728-4971 . 520.323.7070 .
